Selah Soul – “Fades Away to Nothing (James 1:9-11)” [Official Music Video] by Wendy Merritt

Verse 1
”When down-and-outers get a break, cheer! And when the arrogant rich are brought down to size, cheer! Prosperity is as short-lived as a wildflower, so don’t ever count on it.“”

Chorus
“Well, that’s a picture of the “prosperous life.” At the very moment everyone is looking on in admiration, it fades away to nothing.”

Verse 2
“You know that as soon as the sun rises, pouring down its scorching heat, the flower withers. Its petals wilt and, before you know it, that beautiful face is a barren stem.”

Chorus
“Well, that’s a picture of the “prosperous life.” At the very moment everyone is looking on in admiration, it fades away to nothing.”

Bridge
I want something real.
Something deeper than petals.
Give me roots.
Give me truth.
Give me Jesus.
I want something real.
Something deeper than petals.
Give me roots.
Give me truth.
Give me Jesus.

Chorus
“Well, that’s a picture of the “prosperous life.” At the very moment everyone is looking on in admiration, it fades away to nothing.”

Ad-lib Outro
I’ve let go of wilted things…
Planted my faith in the Unfading One.
No spotlight, no stage—just roots.
I’m done chasing pretty.
I’m chasing purpose.

Bridge
I want something real.
Something deeper than petals.
Give me roots.
Give me truth.
Give me Jesus.
I want something real.
Something deeper than petals.
Give me roots.
Give me truth.
Give me Jesus.

I want something real.
Something deeper than petals.
Give me roots.
Give me truth.
Give me Jesus.
